Oji Liquid Pak’s USD 110 million aseptic carton packaging plant marks a new milestone in the development of Amata City Long Thanh, while adding manufacturing capacity to serve the beverage and liquid food industries and regional supply chains.

On October 10, 2026, Japan’s OJI Group held the groundbreaking ceremony for its aseptic carton packaging plant at Amata City Long Thanh, under the Oji Liquid Pak (OLP) brand. With a total investment of USD 110 million and a site area of approximately 57,000 square meters, the project is expected to commence operations in 2028, with a designed annual production capacity of up to 8 billion cartons.

Beyond expanding OJI’s manufacturing operations in Vietnam, the project highlights Dong Nai’s appeal to international investors seeking production locations that can serve both the domestic market and supply networks across Southeast Asia.

Representing Amata City Long Thanh at the groundbreaking ceremony were Mr. Ho Dang Duy Phuc – Deputy General Director of Amata City Long Thanh, Mr. Takamoto Abe – Head of Sales Amata VN, and Mr. Nguyen Cao Cuong, Sales Manager of Amata City Long Thanh.

Bringing Specialized Packaging Production Closer to Markets

The new Oji Liquid Pak plant will manufacture aseptic carton packaging for beverages and liquid food products. Establishing this production capacity in Vietnam will enable the company to better serve domestic market demand while supporting the Group’s supply operations across the region and international markets.

With a designed annual capacity of up to 8 billion cartons, the project will add specialized packaging production capacity for Vietnam’s food and beverage industries. According to the announced plans, the plant is also expected to create more than 200 new jobs once operational.

As supply chains continue to expand across the region, establishing manufacturing facilities in locations with suitable industrial infrastructure and market connectivity is an important consideration in investment decisions. Oji Liquid Pak’s investment illustrates how international companies are choosing Vietnam not only as a consumer market, but also as a link in their long-term manufacturing and supply networks.

Amata City Long Thanh: A Platform for Next-Generation Industrial Projects

Approved in principle for investment in 2015, Amata City Long Thanh covers 410 hectares and is positioned as a high-tech industrial park. It aims to attract investors pursuing green, modern and sustainable

The project benefits from strategic transport connectivity, with direct access to the Long Thanh–Dau Giay Expressway, connections to Interchange 319, and a location less than 10 kilometers from Long Thanh International Airport. Combined with its comprehensively developed infrastructure, these advantages provide favorable conditions for businesses to organize manufacturing operations, connect with key transport hubs, and access domestic and international supply networks.

As of 2026, Amata City Long Thanh has attracted more than 15 multinational investors from Japan, South Korea, China and other markets. Their investments are concentrated in the electrical, electronics and high-tech sectors, with total foreign direct investment (FDI) exceeding USD 421 million.

Oji Liquid Pak’s presence adds another large-scale manufacturing project to the business community at Amata City Long Thanh. Beyond the investment value itself, the project creates potential for stronger linkages among businesses within the industrial ecosystem, connecting specialized packaging production with industries that use packaging for food and beverage products.

Strengthening Dong Nai’s and Vietnam’s Manufacturing Position

For Dong Nai, manufacturing projects serving both domestic markets and regional supply chains can help diversify the industrial base, expand specialized production capabilities and create additional employment opportunities. As these projects are developed and become operational, stronger connections among investors, partners and local businesses may also create further opportunities for cooperation across industrial value chains.

More broadly, OJI’s investment reflects Vietnam’s increasingly important role in the Southeast Asian manufacturing strategies of international corporations. Attracting large-scale projects with long-term operational plans and regional market connectivity also aligns with the broader objective of developing a more modern industrial base and improving the quality of investment.

With its focus on high-tech industrial development, Amata City Long Thanh continues to build an investment environment supported by integrated infrastructure, convenient connectivity and the capacity to meet the needs of multinational companies. Oji Liquid Pak’s project represents a tangible milestone in this journey, expanding the industrial park’s business community and strengthening the foundation for industrial development in Dong Nai.
